Chapter 364 Elena’s Whisper (Thanks to the Leader of “Elmy”)
However, it is regrettable that Elena did not feel Albus Dumbledore's good intentions.
Compared to Dumbledore, the "Patron Saint of Magic in Europe" who has a long-term vision and is full of hope for a better future, Elena now desires to be a real clergyman, not a flashy little witch.
In this way, at least she can have 10,000 ways to help those who are stuck in the world to achieve bliss.
"Professor Binns, actually you don't have to follow me all the time. We can just meet up in the History of Magic classroom."
Elena sighed deeply, turned her head, looked at the "spirit behind" who had been following her half a meter behind her since dinner and said helplessly - a man with a lesson plan under his arm Translucent ghost professor.
At this time, Elena, Hermione and Hannah were holding heavy History of Magic textbooks, walking through the auditorium door and heading towards the History of Magic classroom on the second floor of the castle - their weekly Monday night classes were History of Magic, taken with Hufflepuff and Gryffindor first years.
I don’t know what kind of strange information that spicy old carrot Dumbledore fed Professor Binns.
In short, not long after tonight's dinner, Professor Binns appeared quietly behind Elena. While flipping through "The Quibbler" unhurriedly, he whispered each one in a hoarse and dry voice. Commenting on the omissions and imprecision in the article, Hannah, who was sitting next to Elena while eating, almost fell asleep on the dining table.
At the beginning, Elena tried to argue with Professor Binns.
However, she soon discovered that without preparation, this kind of overestimating behavior would only lead to the experience of the ghost professor, who had no feelings at the same time, listed more dry time points and names of people, and carried out the investigation. Preach further.
And the worst thing is that compared to the articles written by Hermione and Hannah as participants, the one written by Elena alone throws out the "Hogwarts calendar" point of view and makes certain remarks. The exaggerated "shock body" has almost become the main subject of Professor Binns' discussion.
As a fossil-level professor who has existed since the founding of the school, half of Professor Binns' arguments began with statements such as "I remember", "I think about it", and "I saw it", which made Elena continue to follow. There was no thought of arguing anymore.
The only good news is that, seemingly thanks to Dumbledore's communication, the ghost professor generally expressed a supportive attitude towards the "Hogwarts Calendar" proposed by Elena.
If we want to draw an analogy, it is roughly similar to the most classic comment made by many instructors during the first review of the paper: Generally speaking, the direction and ideas are correct, but the details are too rough and there are too many errors and omissions. It is recommended to overturn and rewrite.
Of course, it is impossible to rewrite, not to mention that this issue has already been printed, even if it can still be changed, if Professor Binns really wants to change everything into a dry historical text, It is estimated that not many people will be willing to buy it and watch it—let alone help spread the word and discuss it.
So Elena simply pretended that Professor Binns did not exist and waited for the old man to leave after he finished nagging.
However, she obviously underestimated Professor Binns' resilience and persistence in the "Magic Era".
One of the biggest advantages of being a ghost is that if you want, he can talk in your ear 24/7 without breathing, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Spicy old carrot, just wait for me!
Elena glared hatefully at Dumbledore, who was smiling at her in the faculty seat. She took out a small notebook and wrote down something in her heart. She stopped and looked at the guest who was floating not far away seriously. Professor Si.
"Professor, I understand. From now on, I will report to the History of Magic classroom every night after class, and I will review and proofread your manuscript before submitting it."
Elena said, rubbing her forehead vigorously, a look of determination appeared on her face.
"But at the same time, in the process of chasing and protecting the historical truth, I may also have many other questions to ask you. I hope that at that time, you can also calmly help us uncover the mystery."
Obviously, judging from the current situation, there is no way to hide. If we can't find a way to follow Professor Binns' wishes and compile a rigorous and accurate "Hogwarts Calendar", it is estimated that this situation will happen every day It has to happen once every night.
Facing the ghost professor in front of us who is impossible to defeat, invincible, and most importantly, has turned on the semi-standalone mode, there are only two ways to solve it: 1. Perfectly reproduce an impeccable magic era. Second, find ways to increase Professor Binns' load. According to her observation, even a tireless ghost will become weak.
I hope that by that time, Dumbledore can find a suitable replacement teacher for History of Magic - she personally feels that an old guy who enjoys the whole process would be particularly suitable.
"Chasing and guarding the truth of history..."
Professor Binns shook his head, his wrinkled cheeks twitching, trying to show a kind smile.
Obviously, the old wizard liked this expression very much.
After a slight pause, Professor Binns rolled up "The Quibbler" in his hand. His cloudy vision seemed to become clearer. He raised his head and looked at Elena with a serious look that he had never seen before, and spoke slowly and seriously.
"Young, naive, ignorant, imprecise - but full of courage and hope, this is what the field of magic history lacks. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you sort out and proofread an accurate history of magic. ."
…
As Elena took the initiative to compromise, Professor Binns naturally stopped nagging behind Elena.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but in the following History of Magic class, everyone vaguely felt that there was a slight change in Professor Binns. The originally calm and boring History of Magic class seemed to have a little vitality.
Perhaps it is strange to use the word vitality to describe Professor Binns, but the most intuitive thing is that after this class, the little wizards did not feel as tired as before, where they almost fell asleep on the bed - you know, Because of the first class, everyone in History of Magic listened with full concentration instead of being in a daze.
However, for Elena, this further confirmed some of her speculations.
There is no doubt that the possibility of emotional fluctuations means that Professor Binns' personality has not dissipated, which means that there may be more reactions when he is asked some key questions or when his blind spots in knowledge are updated.
The previous state of dry waves was most likely the "Plant Ghost" mode displayed by Professor Binns in order to "save energy". What she has to do now is to find a way to find the switch that activates Professor Binns again - -Dumbledore will never know that her knowledge of the history of certain side magic far exceeds that of all wizards in the world.
After all the other students left the classroom, and only Elena, Hermione, Hannah, and Professor Binns were left in the classroom, Elena raised the corners of her mouth and sat down on the table with her hands. Wait for Professor Binns to take the initiative to speak.
"Professor Binns, have you heard of the legend about the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts?"
Professor Binns raised his head, blinked, and stuttered.
"Miss Kaslana, I think our focus at this time should be on finding and reproducing reliable facts, rather than discussing these sensational and even ridiculous weird legends..."
"All legends are based on certain facts. As someone who witnessed the quarrel between Slytherin and Gryffindor and left Hogwarts angrily, do you really think that it is just a myth from the bottom of your heart? ? In order to find the legendary secret room that contains terrible things, the three founders and you must have searched the castle many times."
Elena narrowed her eyes, her white legs dangling in the air, and whispered in a seductive tone.
"It's a coincidence that I happen to know some information about the secret room."
"Want to know what creatures are locked there? To be precise, I roughly know where the secret room is. Unfortunately, except for the descendants of Salazar Slytherin, only ghosts can go to that place at present - "
Having said this, Elena paused, glanced meaningfully at the light gray ghost professor, and said softly.
“It’s very easy for you to go and verify it in person.”
"Are you interested?"
